Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the heat treatment of scrap with a charging device leading to a furnace chamber, with a flue gas discharge and loading opening and possibly designed as a carriage, in the storage chamber of which the scrap is subjected to a preheating process.
  • the inventor has set himself the goal of designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it is easy to handle on the one hand and can be managed with relatively little energy loss on the other.
  • the storage space of the charging device is detachably connected to the furnace space and / or flue gas exhaust and fed with waste heat from the furnace space, and on the other hand, that the storage space is provided with a discharge which can be changed in length and this can be inserted into the loading opening .
  • the waste heat from the melting furnace itself is now used for preheating, and the preheated scrap is suddenly fed from the storage space to the furnace space thanks to the length-variable discharge, which prevents the scrap from cooling down.
  • a storage space has proven to be particularly favorable which is surrounded by a housing with an upper inlet opening for scrap and a discharge opening laterally offset from it and connected to the discharge, at least one of the openings - preferably both openings - by means of closure members is to be sealed; a storage space which is sealed against the outside air is thus produced which, according to a further feature of the invention, is part of a flue gas or waste heat circuit, in which the scrap can therefore be temporarily stored for heating.
  • the preheating area for example the charging trolley
  • the preheating area is fed without any longer interruptions, and at the same time a sufficient dwell time for preheating is possible.
  • This is achieved in particular by a staggered arrangement of the inlet and discharge opening, thanks to the brought in
  • Scrap falls through the inlet opening onto the floor of the storage space and is there, according to the invention, brought to the discharge opening by a pusher or the like.
  • the scrap stream crosses the waste heat flow in a region in which, according to the invention, inlet openings for the waste heat flow are preferably provided on one side wall of the storage space and outlet openings are provided on the opposite side wall.
  • those inlet and outlet openings are each connected to a feed or blow-out line for the waste heat flow, at least one blower possibly being inserted in the feed line and / or blow-out line.
  • a mixing element is preferably assigned to the feed line and the blow-out line, the interior of which is divided into two rooms by at least one control element, each of these rooms being assigned to one of the lines; the position of the control element, which is designed, for example, as a swivel flap, determines the amount of fresh air supplied in one embodiment and the ratio of the mixing of the supplied flue gas and the derived waste heat in another embodiment.
  • the device according to the invention detects a battery of melting furnaces in a particularly preferred embodiment, to which a common charging carriage is assigned, it has proven to be advantageous to provide pipe couplings with closure elements between the mixing element and the furnace space or the flue gas outlet in the supply line and blow-out line for the waste heat flow.
  • pressure regulating elements for the waste heat flow may also be present in the respective pipe socket in order to be able to better adapt the device to the respective conditions.
  • the height of the slits should preferably increase in the loading direction in order to best preheat the scrap closest to the furnace chamber.
  • the actual discharge for the preheated scrap consists in the context of the invention of an optionally telescopically extendable feed chute, which is inserted into the furnace chamber after the furnace mouth has been opened and, according to the invention, allows the scrap to run out in the center thanks to associated pushing elements; according to a further feature of the invention, the feed channel consists of refractory material and, when extended, protrudes into the furnace chamber.
  • the charging opening 1 of a melting furnace 2 is preceded by a charging trolley 3 for feeding scrap S, the rollers 4 of which are guided through track recesses 5 in a stage surface 6.
  • a feed channel 9 which is horizontally movable on rollers 8 transversely to the running direction x and has a U-shaped cross section in which a pressure box 10 in the direction of arrow y by a pressure cylinder 11.
  • a storage space 12 in the bottom 13 of which runs along the wall 14 adjacent to the melting furnace 2, a discharge opening 15 which is closed in FIG. 2 by a horizontal slide 16; a piston rod 17 connects this to a hydraulic cylinder 18.
  • a pressure plate 20 inclined toward the floor 13 can be displaced within the storage space 12 in the loading direction y.
  • This pressure plate 20 traverses air slots 23 provided on its stroke path to the front wall 14 of the storage space 12 in its side walls 21, 22. These connect the storage space 12 to a flank box 24.
  • a cover 27 that spans upward toward it has an inlet slot 29 with a slide valve 26, the lifting cylinder 28 of which rests on a boom 30 of the charging trolley 3.
  • a chute 31 which - as shown in particular in FIG. 1 - can accommodate a loading basket 32 with scrap.
  • This loading basket 32 is loaded in a lower position and then raised to the chute 31, as illustrated by the contour 32 a in Fig. 1.6.
  • a blower 35 is attached to the cover 27, the blow-out side of which is connected to an air line 36 of a flank box 34 arranged on the second side wall 22 of the storage space 12 and the intake side of which is connected to a gas mixer 40 via a line 37.
  • An air tube 38 also connects the other flank box 24 to that gas mixer 40.
  • the gas mixer 40 is - as esp. 3, 4 show pipe couplings 41 through two pipes 42, 43 connected to a flue gas discharge 45 of the melting furnace 2 or to a pressure regulating member 46 on this flue gas discharge 45.
  • the first scrap batch resting on the floor 13 of the storage space 12 is still stored outside the flow path of the flue gases determined by the opposite air slots 23 until the inclined pressure plate 20 is guided in the loading direction y; the scrap S gets into the front part of the storage space 12 and thus into the flow path of the flue gases. Through this, the scrap S falls into the two-part charging channel 9 in FIGS. 5 to 10, the leading channel 39 of which is pushed out in the described method step up to the furnace slide 51. Incidentally, the brick lining of the heating furnace 1 is indicated at 52.
  • the bulk of the scrap S seals the front part of the storage space 12 - and thus the flow path of the flue gases - against the chute 31, so that the furnace slide 51 is raised without any problems and the leading channel 39 can be moved into the furnace chamber 50.
